This book is well organized and addresses any issue pertaining to specific forms of contraception. Further, all claims are referenced with scientific journals.

This book is a excellent reference about contraception, the authors are recognize people and the presentation it' s very good.

Evidence-based, current information about contraception worldwide. Easy to read and understand. A must have resource for anyone interested in providing excellent contraceptive care.

I've very much enjoyed reading the first couple of chapters' historical perspectives on contraception in the US. Complements the information in Contraceptive Technology nicely

This book is an excellent source of information about all aspects of contraception. I have used earlier editions as references in the past.

I thought the Bol was ann updated version of a resource kook which optimized the choice of contraceptive for specific health conditions but it offered none of that. The same authors authored this resource book. Disappointed but will be a useful resource to a lesser degree.

Read this book for OB/GYN rotation. Learned a lot. Not sure I would read it again and would recommend to anyone in need to get this book if required for class.

Excellent, quick reference for choosing and problem solving for contraceptive methods. Should be helpful for all levels of health providers
